Eton Color Center

Eton Color Center is a small department with only 27 associates, but that doesn’t stop them from making a significant impact in their community. The team has a food drive each quarter, where boxes are put outside break rooms and employees are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items. At the end of the quarter, all the donations are taken to a charity that the employees choose. Team members said they enjoy these projects because they know when they come together as a team, they can to do more for the communities than if they were donating individually.

In the first quarter of 2018, they collected 96 pounds of food for the Blue Ridge Georgia Food Pantry.

Glasgow takes pride in their sustainability practices. On both Earth Day and Arbor Day, the team shared their passion with the community by participating in several events.

At a local elementary school, the team donated five sets of recycle stations, explaining the importance of recycling and educating them on the different uses for recycled plastic, aluminum and paper. They also worked with the Boxerwood Nature Center and donated three trees that local high school students planted. They also educated the students on Mohawk’s sustainability culture and sustainable practices in carpet manufacturing.

Most recently, the team had two on-site tree plantings, where they planted 50 Black Locust seedlings, 20 Black Cherry seedlings and two Bur Oak trees, which are all native to Virginia and will help sustain the local ecosystem.
